Philandering man + insecure woman = tragic romance . Neither Tomas nor Teresa are likeable characters but the author sure does make you fall in love with Karenin.

Thank you very much but I like to acquire my Templar historical facts from Assassin’s creed games . Storyline is too convoluted and can get pedantic at times.
